I would almost do it for free. Like, maybe I'd do it for 100K, probably even 75K. On the face of it, I'd appear to be less qualified than Curry since I never played in the NBA, and have never been an assistant coach in the NBA. But I am willing to get paid less than Curry to account for the disparity in qualifications.

On the other hand (and just in case Joe is checking out this thread on the forum and thinking about a change), I submit the following qualifications to justify my unwillingness to do it for free:

When I voted I was in between a D and an F and I ended up choosing the F. Now it is no doubt an F for Curry. This is just sad. If we lose our next game we are at .500! This team is probably going to have a below .500 record before this year is over...with all this talent. When we do go below .500 Joe better fire MC. You can't let go of Carlisle, LB, and Flip, who all got the Pistons at least to the ECF and 50 wins, and not get rid of a guy who might not get this team even to the playoffs.

Now, after the Pistons win the Championship this year with me as head coach, I'd probably be asking for a slightly higher payday next year.

As The Low and I have discussed on the podshow, get your raises in the contract first. You will never be able to claim a bonus after you win if you're counting on Bill D and Joe to pay you for what you did yesterday. They do not operate like that.

Look at this as a sort of puffer-fish observance. Remember, in a good many occurrence's, perception is as an automatic crowning of glorious colors that might speak more toward the spectrum of the rainbow...then the absence of color (which is what color?).

He was given the lower end of the rainbow downgraded to a specific wage scale.

You need balance for this; because, you must sell a sense of legitimacy that has sometime to build upon. Can you buy time? Well...it didn't work for Porter.

The camouflage is visual of fluff-and-puff...within a certain time frame. The former is playing the game. The latter is a certain recognition that probes the possibility of a Darwinian miscalculation and being of a possible wrong does not buy you an extra lifetime (GMs are the exception).

The question I need to ask JD: are you comfortable with the some of your exceptional decision points coming up (nothing is 100% sure) that might rest upon a maturation level, that (at the very worse) will help level some things out?

didn't want to start a new thread with this...but can someone explain to me HOW this quote makes sense? i'm not connecting the logic...

Arron Afflalo was supposed to play, but Curry said, "as Allen (Iverson) was going, I wanted to get Afflalo in there, but (Rodney) Stuckey and Rip never got going. That kind of stops you from being able to bring someone else in to give Allen more of a break."

Well, that quote is pretty much an admission of a nightmare for various Pistons fans. You see, he wanted to give Allen a rest and replace him with a defensive player. However, he couldn't give up Allen's offense because Rodney and Richard weren't doing jack. On either side of the ball.

Apparently, he wanted to win the game and didn't believe he could if he took Allen out of the game and left any of the other three in. He was right, up until he called a timeout.

Curry didn't want to replace Rodney and Rip...Because they were playing bad. He usually waits til somebody is playing GOOD before replacing them.

A great playwright couldn't make this stuff up. How in the world is Curry still coaching. The cleveland game is simply unwatchable.
